stevehnz Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I can see one of these kits in my near future, it looks great & you don't seem to have any special hassles with it, hopefully the canopy thing is a one off. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. Hi Steve, The build hasn't been without it's challenges but but due to my lack of time, I've just cracked on without highlighting. That said, it's a fairly decent kit though I'd spend a bit more on a better one if I build another Re. the canopy, I'm now going to use the open version. I was doing a 'wheels up' but my nephew recently advised this one was going on a shelf (not the ceiling) so I've switched my plan (and created more work ) Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi Nigel. Sorry - I've been a bit slow to keep up with your build. Looks like you have made excellent progress though! It is looking superb! The decals really bring it to life. Good luck with getting it finished!! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a rush job; the work indoors seemed never ending!! Still, hoping to get this across the line. My next GB is the 'Thunderbolt' but it's an 'egg' model for some fun and hopefully no pressure Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Almost there now. Need to sort the canopy and add some basic weathering and she should be good for the gallery 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Hi Stix, You are, as always, very kind re. the build- Thank You I'm good thanks, other than the fact that my wife told me last night that we were going out today and probably wont be back until late! Anyhow, I cracked on last night with some very basic weathering and this is as good as she's going to get. Al least she's ready for the gallery and my nephew's shelf. Hope you like her!! Big thanks for Rich for being a great host and to Pat for co-hosting with him !! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 WOW what a rush to the finish line......I'm worn out just trying to keep pace here! You finally made it and well done!!! A lovely job and an awesome colour scheme! You've gotta love the Phantoms of that era and their colour schemes, it's a shame we'll never see that sort of thing again. You've gotta be pretty pleased with this model/build, she come out great and your nephew will be proud to have it on his shelf. I hope you enjoyed the build and the final rush at the end wasn't too stressful, it was a pleasure to have you along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, It certainly was a rush but entirely of my own making. As I said in another response, I'm glad she made the finish Thanks for the support in getting this done. See you on another GB soon!
